In anticipation of the Beijing International School Expo on January 24-25, we will be highlighting local and international schools around Beijing from the upcoming 2015-2016 beijingkids School Choice Guide, which comes out on January 20.

Beijing No. 55 High School is a city-level key school. Upon the approval of the Chinese Foreign Ministry and Beijing Municipal Government in 1975, the school was opened to foreign students. In 1994, the International Baccalaureate Organization approved the school to become its first Chinese member. Soon, the school became widely acknowledged as one of the most exemplary schools in the Asian-Pacific region. On the basis of its quality education and teaching resources, dual-course system, and various activities against a multi-cultural backdrop, the school has provided students with a variety of extra-curricular courses suited to each individual’s age, gender, capabilities, and language skills, enabling them to become active, creative, caring and responsible global citizens.

Word from a Parent:
“No. 55 presents some very unique teaching features and contributes to the success of young learners. Although my son has already transferred schools to continue his education in Guangzhou, he has benefited a lot from his previous years at No. 55. The knowledge and skills that he gained were crucial to his personal development.”– Ring Denzelbane, parent of a Grade 9 student
